At the moment i've got a Asus P5b mainboard, with Quadcore intel 2.4 ghz CPU and 6 GB ram.

Next month i'll be looking at getting an mainboard/cpu/memory upgrade kitt, and seen a few overclocked bundles i like, and am probably going for this one: “Intel i5 3570k @ 4.4GHz - Asus P8Z77-V LX - 16GB Corsair DDR3 Overclocked Gaming Bundle”, or something similar.

At the moment i've got a 600w PSU.

Would i need to upgrade that to something more powerfull for that bundle/cpu or will 600w do ?

I'm also looking at upgrading my graphic card at the same time (and getting a blueray writer, and my first SSD).

I currently have a Geforce 9800GT 1024MB, which is quite a few years old now i believe.
I'm looking at the "MSI GeForce GTX 660 OC Twin Frozr 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card" for sale on here, or something similar.

Same question again, will my 600w PSU do for that card, or does that need upgrading as well then ?

And i might as well stick all my questions in here instead of on 3 different boards (hope that's ok), but are all blue ray writers able to burn on duel layer BD-R, or do you need a special duel layer burner (like with dvd burners) ?
 
It's an "Essential ATX12V P4 Switching Power Supply, 600W"

Can't really seem to find much about that brand online, and also haven't got a clue how long i've had it for. I'm gonna guess 3 - 4 years roughly.
